Quiz
The two- and three-panel screen presentations seen through much of the movie were innovations born of necessity on the part of its creators and film editor Martin Scorsese. With so much footage shot and the studio's unwillingness to expand the length of the released movie's running time, it was decided that a way must be found to maximize the amount of footage that could be used. Because of the wide-screen aspect of the release, it was realized that the multi-panel format could be used most effectively to not only include as much film footage as possible, but to also have concert footage and crowd reaction shots together on the same screen. The filmmakers believed it was important to show the viewing public just what a monumental event the Woodstock festival had unintentionally become. This method also allowed them to show many behind-the-scene activities that reflected all the hard work put in by the production staff and crew, another important detail that the concert's producers thought was very important for the public to see as they always had contended that without the efforts of the entire production staff, this event easily could have degenerated into a disaster.

Citazioni
Interviewer: What do you think about the kids?
Police Officer: From what I've heard from the outside sources for many years I was very, very much surprised and I'm very happy to say we think the people of this country should be proud of these kids, not withstanding the way they dress or the way they wear their hair, that's their own personal business; but their, their inner workings, their inner selves, their, their self-demeanour cannot be questioned; they can't be questioned as good American citizens.
Interviewer: That's kind of surprising coming from a cop.
Police Officer: [smiling] I'm not a cop, I'm the Chief of Police.

Curiosità sui crediti
After the closing credits of the Director's Cut, Crosby Stills & Nash are heard singing "Cost of Freedom". The visuals are of a still shot of the crowd at Woodstock, fading into a long list of names of various people, including performers who were at Woodstock, who since have passed away. The list of names ends with the following: Peace Music Ecology, Liberty Community Democracy, Alternatives Knowledge Altruism.

This is then followed by: Woodstock Generation 19**-20**. R.I.P. it up, tear it up, have a Ball.

NBC edited 88 minutes from this film for its 1981 network television premiere.

The Mother Of All Documentaries!

I was 8 years old the time this event took place and having older siblings into the times, styles, and cultures of the era I certainly got a feel and liking for the bands in this documentary. I have seen bits and pieces of this event throughout the years, but never took the time to sit down and watch the whole event from start to finish; that is until last weekend. This definitely is what music documentaries have used as the measuring stick to define themselves ever since. The Director's Cut, which is what I viewed, is 224 min in length. It's amazing how one can get "sucked into the experience" and not notice the time elapsing! The Remastered version is incredible especially regarding the visual and audio equipment used in that time period. The 2 channel effect with the split screen is interesting and keeps the viewer entertained by the different sounds and noises in the interview segments. Best musical and visual picks are Jimi Hendrix, CSN, Country Joe (cute use of the "bouncing ball" - can we say Karaoke?), Jefferson Airplane, and my favorite Janis Joplin. If you're a period person, grew up in the late 60's, or appreciate classic rock music, then I urge you to go and watch this classic piece of work.
